label printing and formatting

**lipnobody** · 23-06-19, 02:29 PM

thought id ask the folk of the talk if they knew any programs/websites that could help me out with label printing?

my missus makes home made creams n balms n we want to step up the game with better labels, we currently use word n divide into a table, cut, glue n stick! pain in the hole!
weve had a look at some online websites but its costly n industrial quantities.

dont mind purchasing sticky back paper n getting our local printer to print but the formatting needs to be better!

hope ya can help

I use a Brother QL 500

They do loads of different size (and shape) labels at a great price (look at the generic labels on ebay)

The only draw back is the one I have is mono, I think you can get tricolour ones but the price starts going up

Oh, forgot to mention, Brother has it's own labeling software (p-touch editor) - very easy to use

As an aside, I got mine as I was, at one point, sending a load of stuff for prizes & got fed up with writing address labels

Money well spent... I think mine was about 35 quid with a sample reel of labels

hmm now that sounds even better, whenever is convenient for you fella could ya pm me a few examples? you mentioned different sizes that would be perfect as we have small pipett dropper bottles at various mls, jars fer creams n balms again different sizes, we would just have to work out the mm each way for the different sizes, n this QL looks to have play.

always said this place was better than google lol
